All language subtitles for Dynasty S07E17 The Birthday

Down below, looking good.

Sammy Jo, you should have told me
you were coming by.

Why? So you could spend the day
thinking up something ugly to say

- like you did at the club last night?
- Look, l-

How could you do that?
Steven and I were just dancing.

You weren't just dancing with him,

you were dancing with
what the two of you once had together.

- That's not true.
- lsn't it?

Look, the only thing I've got
against Steven is your fantasy of him.

He can't give you what you need,
face it.

Really? And you can?

I can look at you and see you
for the woman that you really are.

A liar and a cheat.
That's what you called me, isn't it?

- I was hurt.
- Well, so was l.

I loved you, and I trusted you.

You've never seen me for who I am.

Sure, you wanna make love,

but when it comes time to listen
and to forgive,

you're nowhere to be found.

I don't know
why we're dragging this out.

You have to sign
these annulment papers.

Just sign them.

Sammy Jo, if I sign these papers,

I'm admitting that our marriage
was nothing but a fraud.

Well, what else was it?

In the beginning, you didn't want me
as part of the family.

Then when I thought I was pregnant,
you didn't even want the baby.

I love you.

I don't know what you feel, Clay,
but it sure isn't love.

No? Then you tell me what it is.

I want you so much, Sammy Jo.

More than I've ever wanted anything
or anyone in my entire life.

Whatever we feel, Clay,
whatever you wanna call it,

it has no future.

Just sign the papers.

Same old story, isn't it?

Whatever Sammy Jo wants,
Sammy Jo gets.

Well, you'd better grow up and decide
what it is you really do want.

Take your papers
and get out of here.

Yes, of course. Send him in.

Hello, Alexis.

Blake, what a surprise.

And what have you brought me,
a Degas?

Close.

It's an Alexis Colby.

She's quite a good artist,
don't you think?

Absolutely remarkable.

Not only has she captured the soul
and essence of her subject,

but his dazzling good looks as well.

Oh, I agree.

I must say, it is rather a good portrait,
even if I do say so myself.

Yes, it is.

All right, let me guess.

Since Alexis painted it,

Krystle doesn't want it in the house,
right?

Well, let's just say
I'd like you to keep it.

All right.

With the invitation that you can come
and look at it whenever you want, deal?

Deal.

Hi. I hope you don't mind,
I let myself in.

No, you're welcome here anytime,
you know that.

- You mean, with Danny.
- Well, with or without.

Now that we're not slicing at each
other, it's nice having you around.

Sammy Jo, that's...

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.

I spent a lot of time thinking last night
after I dropped you off.

And I think I owe you an apology.

For what?

Well, Clay had a right to be angry,
and to take it out on me.

No, he was wrong.

I can dance with anybody I want to.

Except maybe someone
you used to be married to.

The point is, l...

I've got no business hanging around
with you and coming between you two.

You're not coming between anyone
anymore.

Clay signed the annulment papers.
We're through.

So he can blame you all he wants
but you had nothing to do with it.

- So it's really over then.
- Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I mean...

I want you to be happy.

You know what makes me happy,
Steven?

It's when I see Danny
running across the yard to the stables,

wanting to feed Valez a sugar cube.

And watching his eyes light up
when he sees me.

I've been waiting so long for that.

You're great with him.

He loves you.

But you've got your own life to lead,

and I shouldn't be interfering with it.

The only life I care about right now
is the one we share with our son.

But I'll make you a promise.

If you do get in the way,
you'll be the first to know.

Okay.

Uh...

You can take this bag that's right-

- Hello, Leslie.
- Mr. Carrington.

You don't have to be quite
so formal. I'm your uncle.

I know. I saw you last night
at the house as I was leaving.

I would've introduced myself
but you were moving awful fast.

Please, come in.

Um...

- How did you know where I was?
- Well, your father told me

you would probably register under
your mother's name, "Saunders."

So I checked all the hotels
and here you were.

Strange, isn't it? All these years
my father couldn't find me

and it took you just one afternoon.

But you didn't just come here
to introduce yourself.

Why not? You're a member
of the family, aren't you?

Look, I've got nothing against you
or the rest of the Carringtons,

it's just I've done
what I came here to do,

and now I'm leaving.

Leslie, I don't believe for one minute
that that's what you really want.

Your father loves you,
you know that?

- He told you that?
- Yes.

- And you believed him?
- Mm-hm.

My God, you of all people
should know he's a liar.

What difference does this make
to you, anyway?

I mean, did he con you
into coming here to speak for him?

- Does he think that I am that dumb?
- I'm sure he doesn't.

But you wanna know
what I think you really are?

I think you're a very stubborn,
very strong-willed young woman.

And I wouldn't be wasting
my time here

if I didn't think you were throwing away,
with both hands,

one of the most meaningful
experiences that you'll ever have.

Meaningful experiences?
Between me and my father?

Yes. Any father and daughter.

Tell me something,
what are you, some kind of authority?

Yes, damn it, that's exactly what I am.

I have a daughter, Fallon, I adore,

and frankly, you remind me of her
at her most impossible.

Same temper, the same spirit.
Same capacity for anger.

But when we got through
all the heavy going

she and I found something.
We found love.

And there was lots of it.

Just as there is in Ben for you
and you for him,

whether you're ready or not
to admit it.

Mr. Carrington, wait.

I just wanted to say that
there are mornings that I wake up

and I don't know what's gonna
come flying out of my mouth.

You're a very nice man
and my anger isn't with you.

And I have no reason
to take it out on you, so I'm sorry.

I don't know what else to say.

Well, you could say yes,

that you'll come over to the house
for dinner tonight, or tomorrow night.

Whenever you're ready.

And that you'll try to find out things
about your father,

just as he will find out about you.

How about that, Leslie?

- Is Kristina napping?
- No, she isn't, Mrs. Carrington.

This is the third time
I've checked on her

but she can't seem to get to sleep
this afternoon.

She didn't finish her lunch.

I think she's just excited
over the birthday party.

I'll look in on her.
Would you take these, please?

Sure.

Mommy.

I bet I know
what you've been waiting for.

- A big hug, right?
- Right. And a kiss.

Here they come.

Okay, now, just close your eyes
and get some sleep.

I can't, Mommy.

Well, maybe if you try
a little bit harder you can.

Who knows? Maybe you can dream
about your party.

And your birthday cake
with pretty pink candles,

and ice cream and all your friends.

Do you think I will? Really?

Well, I don't know why not.

You know what?
Your teddy bear looks tired too.

Why don't you hold him
and the two of you get some sleep?

- All right. Thank you.
- Okay.

Who's there?

Adam, what are you doing here?

- Sorry about the vase.
- Forget the vase.

I'll buy you another one.

Adam, why don't you just leave,
please?

I have to use my key to let myself in

because you've been avoiding me
for days.

Dana, how can I ask you
to forgive me

if I can never reach you on the phone
or meet you face to face?

I think we have gone
beyond forgiveness, Adam.

But not beyond this.

What do you think you're doing?

- Dance with me.
- Adam, listen. Ugh...

Look, the other night
you made it very clear

that you don't trust me enough
to share things with you,

to share your problems.

So why don't you just find somebody
else to share your dancing with?

Dana. Dana, would Ginger
ever talk that way to Fred?

Ugh. Adam, I'm serious.
I am tired of being your little plaything,

of you showing up here
and letting yourself in

and expecting me
to be waiting for you.

I'm not here to play games.

I had this all planned out.

Uh, true, I wasn't supposed
to break any vases-

You were going to sweep me
into your arms and carry me to bed?

I'm sorry to disappoint you.
Would you please leave?

- I can't.
- What do you mean you can't?

This is my apartment,
I want you out of here.

I just said it, I can't go.

What is wrong with you?

I can't go
until I ask you to marry me.

Are you going to force me
to call somebody

to get you out of here?
I said it and I'm...

What did you just say?

That I can't go.

No, after that.

Until I ask you to marry me.

You did say it.

- "Marry."
- I didn't say, "Let's go to the movies."

I didn't say, "Take a letter,
Miss Waring." I said, "marry."

As in, "church."
As in, "wedding." As in, "future."

As in, "l adore you."
As in, "you are my life." As in-

I get the point.
Would you shut up so I can say yes?

Okay, I'll shut up.

- Say it.
- Yes.

Louder.

Yes.

I can't hear you.

Yes, Adam Carrington,
I will marry you.

Is that loud enough? Ha, ha.

- lt'll have to do.
- Ha, ha.

Oh, God, I love you.

I love you too.

You proposed?

And she accepted.
I know what you're gonna say.

"You and Dana
hardly know each other.

Why don't you take things
more slowly?"

Do you know how long it took me
to fall in love with your father?

No.

I took one look at him,
then I took a deep breath

and by the time I let it out
I was in love.

Well, then you approve?

Oh, yes. Of love, I do approve.

But not marriage.

As the songs say,
they do go together.

Then what's your objection, Mother?

I don't have any objection.

If she makes you happy,
then I'm all for it.

Oh, she does.

Every time I'm with her,
I feel as if I'm on an adventure.

Then enjoy it. But get to know her
a little bit too, Adam.

I know all I need to know.

What do you know about her family?

She has none. Her parents are dead.

Well, in that case,

our family is going to be
even more important to her.

You know, darling,
being a Carrington is not easy,

and marrying one is even harder.

You and Claudia eloped,
and I think that all during that marriage

you felt as though
you weren't a part of this family.

If you're saying don't elope
and don't leap into things-

That's exactly what I'm saying.

Dana deserves more.

Let your father and me
be part of this.

And let Dana become a part of us.

I'm going to give the wedding.

And this time
it will be a real family affair.

Mother,
you never cease to amaze me.

Mm.

- Hey.
- Hello.

- How are you?
- Wonderful.

So that's it. Dominique One.

- That's it.
- She cuts quite a figure.

She does. Just like her namesake.

Thank you. Thank you.

- But you know...
- What?

Well, I was just thinking,
she looks kind of lonely to me.

- You think so?
- Yeah, like a wallflower at a prom.

I think she could use some company,
Nick.

- More rigs, you mean.
- Yeah.

Well, she's gotta pay for herself first.

Once she comes in,
and believe me, she will.

I mean, this whole field is gonna
be covered with nothing but rigs.

What are we waiting for?
Why don't we do it right now?

Why don't we take everything we have
and pump it right into her?

- We?
- We.

Well, I don't have very much,
remember?

What are you talking about?

You have the brains
to know where to drill.

You have the heart and the muscle

to turn this whole field
into a pumping station.

And you have the money, is that it?

Of course I have the money, Nick.

The only problem is,
is that I can't take your money.

What are you trying to say?

It's because of what didn't happen,
my not going to bed with you, isn't it?

- Come on, you know that's not it.
- It's your male pride.

- Look-
- The money has nothing to do with it.

Look, you always say that.
You seem to have all the answers.

Not always. But I think this time
I've got the answer.

- Look, Dominique, every-
- Oh, Nick, please do me a favour.

Would you just manage to grow up?

- Would you wait a minute?
- Excuse me.

Blake, I have some wonderful news
that I simply have to share with you.

Well, I think it's wonderful too.
Adam and Dana getting engaged.

- Sit down, won't you?
- Well, how did you know?

Well, they just phoned me.

She's such a nice girl.
I know she's going to make him happy.

Yes, she will be good for him.

He's always been
a very complicated boy.

I never felt that
he really believed in himself.

Well, he will now that he's in love.

Blake, I am going to give him the best
wedding that Denver has ever seen.

Yes, I'm sure with you handling it,
it will be.

I'm looking forward to it.

Finally, one of our children married
in the Carrington mansion.

You're, um...?

You're planning
on having the wedding there?

Of course, it's his house.

The house
he should have grown up in.

Well, I guess, uh...

Don't worry,
I'll make all the arrangements.

You don't have a problem with that,
do you?

No, no.

And Krystle will understand,
won't she?

- Yes, I guess she will.
- Of course she will.

She knows how much
your family means to you.

And she and I are getting along
so much better now.

Maybe I'll tell her myself.

No, no, there's no need to do that.
I'll talk to her about it.

I'm certain that she'll understand.

Good. Oh, Blake, I'm so glad
that you feel the same way that I do.

Well, we'll talk about the details later.
Goodbye.

All right.

- Hello, Dex.
- What is it, Alexis?

And next time knock.
I don't like people barging in on me.

Oh, charming.

Well, I came out here to apologise.

Well, that gives you a lot of options.
A hell of a lot.

I'm sorry about what happened
in Singapore.

I know you travelled a long way and
spent a long time searching for me.

It doesn't matter, Alexis.

I'm just finally sick and tired
of being at your beck and call.

Look, I'd like to make up for the past.

What is this?

A little cease-fire between battles?
Is this where you say you love me?

I do love you.

On your terms, right?

I'd like it to be on equal terms.

All right, why not?

You seen Blake lately?

Oh, Dex, Blake has nothing
to do with this.

- So answer me. Have you seen him?
- Yes, of course.

Adam's getting married.
There's a wedding to plan.

And I'll bet you're in there
all the way.

- Yes, I am.
- Using that as a wedge to get at Blake

and this visit to get at me.

You want us both. You always have.

- I want you.
- You want me between the sheets.

The rest of the time
you want your independence intact.

I want my independence.

And I want a lover.
And I want a partner.

And I don't want
to be suffocated by you.

Well, breathe freely, lady,

because you have tossed me out
one too many times.

You can just count me out of your life,
okay?

Oh, thank God.

Oh, Dominique.

What, uh, brings you
all the way out here?

Well, l, uh...

Oh, I'm just out here enjoying
the good clean country fresh air.

Oh, yeah, yeah. It's good for the lungs,
good for the spirit.

It's an old lndian saying.

Dex, how long
are you going to stand there?

I need some help, please.

Why?
You look like you're doing just fine.

I mean, isn't that what
the 80s woman is all about?

You toot your own horn,
you fix your own tyre?

- That's not funny.
- Ah.

Well, I guess l, uh, could go down
the road and call the auto club.

That's even less funny.

- I'll help.
- Please. Thank you. Thank you.

Come on, Dex. Answer.

Bring me a copy of
the Lex-Dex agreements immediately.

There are times

when I feel
maybe I was meant to be alone.

I know there's some man waiting
for me at the top of a mountain,

but, Dex, honestly,
I am so tired of climbing.

Then stop.

I know I need a rest.

Alexis and I are through.

Dex, I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, so am l.

But now's time to think about myself,

find out what I want.

You should too.

Oh.

Who is Dominique Deveraux?
Ha, ha. Which one?

The public one? Or the private one?

I'm a mother, an entertainer,
a businesswoman.

The private one.

I know she's in there, somewhere.

I'd like to meet her.

May I tell you a secret?

I don't know if I've ever met her,
I'm not even sure she exists.

Maybe you should give her
a chance to be seen.

Sometimes when I look in the mirror,

there is no one looking back at me.

In my lifetime,
I have made more money

than I ever dreamed I would make.

But aside from my daughter,

I've really got nothing.

Why...?

Why is life so...?

So empty?

It all goes back to one thing.

Whether you're a man or a woman,

if you've lost out on love,

you've lost everything.

- It was a great dinner, Krystle.
- Oh, thank you.

You know you're welcome here
anytime.

Hi, darling.

I was gonna show you off,
but asleep.

But I can't, Mommy.

Well, then say hello to your cousin,
Leslie.

Hello, Kristina.
You're a very beautiful girl.

Say good night, darling.

Kristina?

She's overly tired.
I think I'll stay with her for a while.

Still a little edgy?
Still a little nervous?

Oh, Leslie.

Where's Krystle?

She's with Kristina,
trying to get her to sleep.

Oh.

Well, l, uh, think I'll go up
and say good night too. Excuse me.

I'm glad Blake talked you
into coming to dinner tonight.

You look so much
like your mother tonight, Leslie.

Oh, do you remember her?

I've never forgotten her.

Did she hate me right to the end?

Yes, she did.

What'd you expect?
After all those times you left her alone.

Why weren't you there for her?

Leslie, I was not...

What?

I'll tell you what you were not.

You were not a father,
you were not a husband,

and whatever excuses you have,
they are just gonna be more lies.

Leslie, don't leave me tonight, please.

Not like the other evening.

I want to show you something.

Come sit down, please.

I took this of you
the last time I saw you.

You were 12 years old, remember?

Yes.

You wanted me to have a picture
of you when I was out in the field

so I wouldn't forget you.

You got yourself all dressed up. I think
it was the first time you wore lipstick.

You were a vision.

And you've been with me,
just like that, ever since.

If I was so important to you,

why didn't you try
and get in touch with me?

I told you I did. Hundreds of letters.

Which I never got.

Why didn't you try to find me?

I did try.

But your mother always kept
one step ahead of me.

And that excuses you?

Ugh. No, nothing excuses me.

But that doesn't mean
you can't give your old man a chance.

Will you, Leslie?

Will you?

So much for another hour's worth
of talk.

It didn't solve a thing.

Oh, Dex.

No one really straightens out
their life in an hour's conversation.

It's too bad
I'm not another kind of guy

and you're not
another kind of woman.

But you're not. We're not.

You just don't go to bed with a friend
to strike out at someone.

Not even Alexis.

Even if you find that friend warm
and appealing?

Especially if you find that friend warm
and appealing.

Dex, I'm not going to deny
that I find you attractive.

But as you said earlier,
this is the time for us to find out

who we are and what we want
at this point in our lives.

Yeah.

Well, at this point in my life,

I think it's time
to take you back to Denver.

I don't want you to forget
I am a friend.

And if you need one, you call.
Promise?

Mm-hm.

That's a promise.

- And you too?
- Mm-hm.

This partnership of our is over, De-

Alexis.

Well, I always knew
where you kept your conscience.

But, Dominique,

from lounge lizard to trailer tramp.

Now I have seen everything.

Well, good morning, Leslie.
You're here bright and early.

Well, actually,
I had a lot to think about.

Um, this is for Kristina.

Oh, thank you.

Well, you could have brought it
to the party yourself.

Does this mean
that you're not coming?

No, I'm sorry.
I just can't see my father right now.

Please, understand.
It's just too painful.

Why don't you give this to Kristina
yourself? She's up there with Krystle.

I'm sure she'd love to see you.

Okay.

- Soft, isn't he?
- Softer than anything.

You wanna know how
to keep him real happy?

How?

Well, give him lots and lots of love.

And you hug him. And you-

Kiss him. Ha, ha.

Just like that.

Okay, my little one, why don't you
get back into bed for a little while?

You got up too early this morning.

- Can I take him with me?
- Well, of course you can.

- I like my bear.
- I'm glad.

There you go. Up.

Okay, sweet dreams.

Leslie, what you just told Kristina
about loving and holding on...

Your father loves you.
And I think you wanna love him back.

I can't just forget
about the years without him.

But what about the years to come?

I saw the look in your eyes at dinner,
both of you.

- I think you need each other.
- Ha.

Ben Carrington needs someone?

Well, that's why you're here, isn't it?
To find out?

Leslie,
why don't you move in with us?

With him in the same house?

I think you owe it to yourself
to find out.

Besides,
you're part of the family now.

Think about it, all right?

I will.

She's all right, isn't she?
She seems a little tired to me.

I don't know.

Blake, do you think this party
is too much for her?

Oh, no, no, no. Of course not.

Three is a very special age
for a young lady,

and that is a very special young lady.

Daddy, are you sure I'm special?

You're up. Why, do l-?
Am I sure that you're special?

Of course I am.

Then will Humpty Dumpty
be at my party?

All the king's men.

All of them carrying balloons.
All the colours you can think of.

Darling, are you all right?

Mommy, Daddy, I can't breathe.

Call an ambulance.
I'll get her downstairs.

That tickles.

Just a little longer, darling.

Can you take another big breath
for me, Kristina?

Good girl.

Was this sudden?
Has she been feeling all right lately?

- Well, she's had a little cough lately.
- Yeah, but no fever.

We've kept a close watch on her,
doctor.

Mm-hm.

Something tells me
you got so excited about your birthday

that you couldn't catch your breath.

It's a big word
called hyperventilation.

I think we ought to check her
into the hospital.

Why? What's wrong?

Just for some tests.

Tests for what?

Mr. Carrington,
we don't know what it is.

If we did we'd tell you.

But I think we should keep her here
for a few days under observation.

Mommy, why do I have to stay here?

Just so we can be absolutely certain
you're all right, darling.

- You know what?
- What?

You're gonna have
two birthday parties.

You're gonna have one here
and one when you get home.

Now, how many girls have
two birthday parties in one year?

Me.

That's right.
Ha, ha.

Oh, doctor.

How long will she have to stay here
do you think?

Just till I'm certain
there's no problem.

Okay, there you go, champ.

Can I take my truck to the party?

Yeah,
but don't forget Kristina's present.

Doesn't take much, does it?
A toy truck and he's happy.

What would make you happy,
Sammy Jo?

Besides Danny.

I mean, if it's really over
between you and Clay, what's next?

I don't know what's next.

I'm just taking it one day at a time.

You know, Clay may have signed
the papers, but maybe it's not too late.

For what?

Steven, it's done.
I know what I want.

Really? I just asked you
and you couldn't give me an answer.

What do you want?

Not to be questioned, for one thing.

Look, if I've invaded your privacy,
I'm sorry.

For God's sake, Steven,
stop apologising.

Right now,
I'm just glad we're together.

Hello?

Yeah, Dad,
we're just about on our way.

What?

Right, okay.

What is it?

Kristina, she's in the hospital.

Where is that birthday girl?

Here!

There you are.

There you are.

We got a little something over here
with your name on it.

Just for you for your birthday.

I know what it is.

How do you know that?
You haven't even opened it.

It's my very own pony,
just like you promised.

A pony? Let's take a look
and see whether you're right.

- It is your pony. Yes.
- You've been waiting a long time.

What do you think of him?

I wanna ride him now.

Oh, darling, let's do wait.
We'll do that when we get home, huh?

I wanna ride him now.

If you let Daddy put you back to bed,
we have another surprise for you.

- What?
- Oh, come on. First, back in bed.

Wee!

You can't have a birthday
without a birthday cake.

- Happy birthday, Kristina.
- A very happy birthday.

ALL
Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Kristina

Happy birthday to you

Let me give you some help.
Gotta get closer.

I should not be speaking to you.

Then don't.

Oh, but I'm just dying to hear
what you think of my new suit.

It's okay.

Just okay?
I mean, after it cost me 600 bucks?

Your little joke, stealing my clothes
while I was in the shower.

Not stealing, Michael, dumping.
I dumped your clothes.

You deserve a lot more,
so consider yourself lucky.

I consider us even, okay?

I double-crossed you four years ago

and you handed it all back
the other evening.

Now, how about a rematch?

You and me going to bed?

Without the shower this time.
You got it.

You don't. Sorry, Michael.

How long can you hold a grudge
against a guy?

I mean, how long can you hate a guy
for one mistake?

For one mistake?

That's a good question.
The answer...

Revenge can only go so far.

How far is that?

Good night, Michael.

And, uh, take care of that suit.
You could be out another 600 bucks.

And, uh, take care of this too,
will you?

Shh! Mommy's sleeping.

Mommy! Daddy!

Kristina!

Blake, she's not breathing.

I'll get the doctor.

Breathe. Kristina, breathe.

Somebody help me!

Help me!
